Development and flight performance of a biologically-inspired tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle with wing stroke plane modulation.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 7, 2018
The tailless flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) is one of the most challenging problems in flapping-wing design due to its lack of tail for inherent flight stability. It must be designed in such a way that it can produce proper augmented contro...
Avian-inspired energy-harvesting from atmospheric phenomena for small UAVs.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Nov 20, 2018
Fixed-wing small, unmanned aerial vehicles usually fly in atmospheric boundary layers that are often under the influence of turbulent environments. Inspired by nature's flyers, an application of an energy-harvesting flight strategy for increasing the...
Achieving bioinspired flapping wing hovering flight solutions on Mars via wing scaling.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 26, 2018
Achieving atmospheric flight on Mars is challenging due to the low density of the Martian atmosphere. Aerodynamic forces are proportional to the atmospheric density, which limits the use of conventional aircraft designs on Mars. Here, we show using n...
Locomotion of arthropods in aquatic environment and their applications in robotics.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 8, 2018
Many bio-inspired robots have been developed so far after careful investigation of animals' locomotion. To successfully apply the locomotion of natural counterparts to robots for efficient and improved mobility, it is essential to understand their pr...
Feedback Control-Based Navigation of a Flying Insect-Machine Hybrid Robot.
Soft robotics
May 3, 2018
This study reports the first ever demonstration of the aero navigation of a free-flying insect based on feedback control. Instead of imitating the complicated kinetics and mechanisms of insect locomotion, a live insect can be directly transformed int...
Design and evaluation of a deformable wing configuration for economical hovering flight of an insect-like tailless flying robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 18, 2018
Studies on wing kinematics indicate that flapping insect wings operate at higher angles of attack (AoAs) than conventional rotary wings. Thus, effectively flying an insect-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) requires appropriate wing design...
Jump stabilization and landing control by wing-spreading of a locust-inspired jumper.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 16, 2017
Bio-inspired robotics is a promising design strategy for mobile robots. Jumping is an energy efficient locomotion gait for traversing difficult terrain. Inspired by the jumping and flying behavior of the desert locust, we have recently developed a mi...
Design and analysis of aerodynamic force platforms for free flight studies.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 16, 2017
We describe and explain new advancements in the design of the aerodynamic force platform, a novel instrument that can directly measure the aerodynamic forces generated by freely flying animals and robots. Such in vivo recordings are essential to bett...
Optimal pitching axis location of flapping wings for efficient hovering flight.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 1, 2017
Flapping wings can pitch passively about their pitching axes due to their flexibility, inertia, and aerodynamic loads. A shift in the pitching axis location can dynamically alter the aerodynamic loads, which in turn changes the passive pitching motio...
Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 20, 2017
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
